Research on the Driving Mechanism of Intelligent Renovation and Digital Transformation in Traditional Enterprises

Intelligent renovation and digital transformation have become effective paths for traditional enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness. The rapid and extensive application of digital technology has become a crucial catalyst for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. This digital transformation not only enhances production efficiency, product quality, and cost reduction but also boosts the competitiveness and innovation capabilities of enterprises. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with personnel at various levels of 30 traditional enterprises, utilizing grounded theory to extract significant factors that influence enterprise digital transformation. A theoretical model was developed, identifying environmental changes as external factors impacting enterprise digital transformation, and internal driving forces including enterprise resources, entrepreneurial spirit, employee involvement, enterprise capabilities, and strategic planning. Through comprehensive research on the driving mechanism of digital transformation in traditional enterprises, this study proposes effective strategies and path choices for enterprises. These include “government-enterprise collaboration” and “industry chain collaboration” along with “strengthening the foundation” and “enhancing capabilities.” The aim is to promote successful intelligent renovation and digital transformation among traditional enterprises.
